Ronaldo’s individual form has been slowly decreasing year after year since he is not getting any younger. He’s 37 years old but still very capable of scoring goals. His form has not always been reflected in FIFA, but the developers have “nerfed” Ronaldo for FIFA 23.

Here are the official stats of Ronaldo in FIFA 23.

Ronaldo has lost a ton of pace when we compare his official FIFA 23 card with his official FIFA 22 card. Not only has his overall Pace fallen from 87 to 81, but his current Acceleration (79) and Sprint Speed (83) have decreased considerably. Ronaldo will not be one of the fastest players in FIFA 23, that’s for sure.
